Hip-Hop is known for its four main elements: rapping, breakdancing, graffiti, and DJing.
The DJ has been the cornerstone of Hip-Hop since the culture’s inception in the early 1970’s thanks to DJ Kool Herc and his sister Cindy’s famous block parties, as well as the Black Spades street gang and a Warlord named Afrika Bambaataa, who formed the Zulu Nation in November of 1973.
The DJ continues to drive Hip-Hop culture. Check out this list of 50 DJ’s who can make your party, or break your record!
